[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4495860, member: 26302"]No problem. One thing I would say is you will never know what you don't know. You will never know if you didn't place ANY bid until the last second how much money you would have saved. I always found if I placed a bid early it always got driven up over the course of the auction. It simply gives people ample opportunity to change their minds, raise their bids, over and over basically driving up my costs. After I started sniping, this mostly went away, since no one had time to change their minds and bid higher and higher against me. Like I said, do what you feel. I would encourage you, though, if you are serious about buying on Ebay to try sniping and see how it feels. I cannot overestimate the ability to retract your bid. I changed my mind frequently and was never stuck with a coin I had second thoughts about. Just a suggestion, and to others as much as you sir. :)[/QUOTE]
